If you’re shopping online, though, you’re in luck! Lot’s of stores will be slashing prices online as well as in stores. Sometimes it’s hit or miss, but you’ll usually find prices online to be the same or close to the prices in stores. Sometimes the prices are even better!

In preparation for the sales, it’s a good idea to check out the items you’re after online first . You may even want to bookmark them in a special Black Friday Folder on your bookmarks bar so you can access them quickly and easily when shopping time rolls around.

But, how do you know what will be on sale? Well, you can browse through the stores’ Black Friday ads, and we’ve been working our little tushes off here at Common Sense With Money to create lists for some of the most popular stores’ Black Friday ads! Over the next few days, we’ll be publishing huge lists of quick links of the products that should be on sale at each store.

Check through the lists and bookmark the items you’re interested in. When Thanksgiving rolls around, you can simply open your bookmarks and check on all of the products you’re interested in. If the price is right, you can purchase it. No crowds, no waiting in line, and – most importantly – no rushing Thanksgiving dinner!
